Single Parents Mingle

Single Parents Mingle is a single parent dating site with all the features modern daters have come to expect: instant messaging, live chat, etc.

But it’s the members who make the site, and the Single Parents Mingle users are regular people looking to meet the same.

If you’re a single mom, dating a single dad via a site built specifically for lone parents can save you time and aggravation.

And vice versa.

For single dads, dating a single mother is an easy way to answer the inevitable question: does she like kids?

Because whether you’re a single mother or a single father, dating can be tricky. Not everyone you meet on mainstream dating sites will want to get involved with someone who has children.

You can be reassured that whoever you meet on this single parent mingle site will be child-friendly.

All the member profiles we looked at were of nice-looking people who made the effort to present themselves as intelligent, thoughtful prospects.

Which can be a rarity online, as we’ve learned in the course of reviewing way too many dating sites.

We like:

This site offers all the features online daters expect, and has a nice-looking membership of normal people. In other words, our weirdo antenna didn’t go off once when scrolling through the profiles on this site.

For that reason alone, we award Single Parents Mingle an A+.

We don’t like: This isn’t really a dislike, but the over-40 membership isn’t huge. Respectable, but not huge. There were over a 1000 members returned for each search we did (men between the ages of 40 and 90 and women between 40 and 90).

But again, the over 40s single parent membership of this site look like nice, normal people who can string two words together.

And we like that.
